The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a new interactive site called the new Food Environment Atlas. This site allows you to take certain predetermined criteria and have them displayed on a map of the United States. For example, you can graph the availability of food stores or restaurants within a certain area. However, the site is not just limited to food issues. You can also plot the physical activity of adults or teenagers onto the map. You can look at where different races are concentrated in the United States. You can even look at the median household income. All in all, this is a great site to visit. I wish more government agencies gave access to data in this manner.
